New Workshop: Your Story Sells with Eley — Marketing for Artists & Makers
This fall at the Atlanta School of Photography, is proud to welcome Eley as the guest instructor for a new two-hour workshop designed to empower creatives through story-driven marketing.
Titled "Your Story Sells: Marketing for Artists & Makers," this immersive session blends strategic tools with heart-centered storytelling. Eley brings her expertise as the founder of Eley Photo LLC, a portrait studio known for its rich, technically refined imagery and deep commitment to social impact. Her work with organizations like UPS, Delta, and the Shepherd Foundation speaks to her ability to navigate both commercial and community-centered spaces — and now, she’s ready to share that knowledge with others.
The Workshop Vision
Too often, marketing feels cold or performative — especially for creatives. Eley flips that script. Her approach is rooted in the belief that storytelling connects more than selling ever could. This workshop is for artists and makers who want to grow their audience without compromising their voice. Through real-time demos, breakout groups, and personal guidance, participants will explore how to connect their process to their platforms in a way that builds trust, visibility, and creative momentum.
What Participants Will Learn
In this hands-on workshop, attendees will:
Film and edit their own behind-the-scenes Instagram Reel
Explore how to balance credibility (website) and connection (social media)
Clarify their brand identity through tone, color, and visual language
Learn the essentials of email marketing and creative word-of-mouth
Develop a powerful elevator pitch to confidently speak about their work
Participate in interactive breakouts and a live Q+A to share and troubleshoot in real time
Why It Matters
Eley’s photography practice is driven by empathy, representation, and connection — and this workshop is no different. It’s not just about how to post more. It’s about how to share your why, and how to make your work visible in ways that feel sustainable, honest, and human.
Spots are limited to ensure a personalized experience. If you're an artist, maker, or creative entrepreneur ready to grow your presence with integrity, this workshop is for you.
